description
This plugin is similar to echofunc (vimscript #1735) to which it owes
much inspiration and two lines of code. echofunc is probably also better
tested.

It displays some information about the tag under the cursor or mouse
pointer either in the echo area or as balloon help (see
|g:ttagecho_balloon_patterns|). If there are more than one tags that
match, you can loop through the tags by invoking the respective commands
repeatedly.

If hookcursormoved (vimscript #2037, version >= 0.4) is installed, for
certain filetypes (see |g:ttagecho_parentheses_patterns|) it will
display the information in the echo area also if the cursor moves over a
round parenthesis.

If you don't like the default format for the tags, you can define the
function TTagechoFormat_{&filetype}(a:tag) that should return some nicely
formatted information.
